Easy Money – Individual picks with a high probability of success.
Pick 1: Vikings -2.5 (-120 Odds)
If you feel like you’re missing something with the line being less than a field goal in a matchup between a 5-1 and a 2-4 team, stop overthinking it. The Rams are coming off a much-needed win against the reeling Raiders, but this Vikings team is a different animal altogether. Fresh off their first loss of the 2024 campaign, look for a focused Minnesota squad to take care of business on Thursday Night Football.
Pick 2: Cooper Kupp 70+ Receiving Yards (-105 odds)
Some would argue that it’s best to give a player coming off a prolonged injury stint a week or 2 to get their feet under them before you put your hard-earned money on an over prop of theirs. But you won’t get that type of analysis here. This is a must win game for the Rams, and if the ship is sinking, it’s going down with their best players. Tack on the fact that trade rumors have been circulating that Kupp could be on the block, and this is shaping up to be a showcase game in a negative game script to prove to the rest of the league that he is healthy for the stretch run.
Pick 3: Will Reichard over 1.5 FGs Made (-155 odds)
Through his 6 game NFL career, Reichard is a perfect 12 for 12 on field goal attempts and 18 for 18 on extra points. The sample size is small, but the rookie has been automatic thus far. As for the line, The Vikings offense has settled for 2 or more field goal attempts in 4 of their last 5 games and the Rams defense is allowing just over 2 attempts per game. With teams not always at their best on Thursday Nights, look for Reichard to stay hot in the SoFi Stadium dome.
Parlay All Day – A combination of picks that juice up your return.
Parlay 1: (+250 Odds)
Justin Jefferson Any Time TD, Vikings on the Money Line & Over 40.5 total points
Straight forward and easy to follow on this one. Over 40.5 is a full TD less than the 47.5 points the O/U is currently sitting at. The best WR in the game should hit pay dirt in a matchup with a Rams team that has yielded the 26th most passing TDs thus far in 2024.
Parlay 2: (+900 Odds)
Cooper Kupp Any Time TD, Cooper Kupp 80+ Receiving Yards, Vikings -5.5
Leaning into the previously discussed narrative that has the Rams trailing in this one, resulting in Stafford locking on to his favorite target in Kupp, who finds the end zone. Too little too late, however, as the Vikings come to Hollywood and win the game by a TD.
